would not think for a moment of
keeping the serpent or snake nicely
stored away in their houses lest they
might at sometime unthoughtedly
approach him and he would bite
them. But this is the very argument
that the wise man makes concerning
the wine bibber. AT last " he says,
it biteth like serpent, and sting
eth like an adder" But some think
that they have such complete control
over themselves that they can with
stand such temptations, and a great
many who profess to be followers of
the blessed Savior think that they
can keep this monster surpent about
them and commit no sin, and there is
not few who will even plead for
the monster.
Stopand think, ponder before you fur
ther 60, read what the wise man says,
study its connections with other por-
lions of Gods word, and 1 am sure
that you will be convinced that the
true and sure course to take is to re-
move the evil from among us and
put greater restraints around our
selves, that we may not be led away
with the evil.

An old horseman has this to say
about the use of blinds on horses:
Usually the use of blinds causes the
very evil it is intended to remedy
shying. The horse SHES because he
sees something imperfectly, or can
not see at all an object which makes
noise, the nature of which he does
not understand. If he has not blinds
to interfere with his sight he will shy
less often. If you have horse, adj
dicted to shying, remove the blinds
and be kind to him for a few days,
until he has gained confidence in him
selfand in you. This will effect a
radical cure. N. Y. Telegram.

Personal Points and Pithy Paragraphs
From North Warren.

A refreshing shower visited this
section yesterday evening at about 4
o'clock, making the hearts of hun
dreds rejoice, the rain seemed to be
general north and northeast of here.
Fair indications of showers again
today, which many poor farmers
would hail with joy. Some of the
sayings of Solomon the wise man
would certainly be in place in these
days when the people are struggling
to free themselves from the bandage
of the rum seller and whisky traffic.
Who hath woe? who hath sorrow /?
who hath contentious? who hath
babbling? who hath wounds without
cause? who hath Iedness of eyes?"
Who has all these deplorable things
that are mentioned in the above,
which are recorded in the 23d chapter
of the book of Proverbs and Goth
verse? Where is the man and who is
he that is thus afflicted and cursed
Is it the temperate man, is it the
sober man? Is it the man that's living
for the good of his country and fellow
man? Can not you, my readers,
picture out the very man in your
imagination that the wise man so
infinitely describes? l am sure that
no one who has lived near the place
where the traffic has been carried on
for any length of time could not GER
tainly answer the above questions
correctly. But for fear they cannot
we give the answer of the wise man,
the inspired man: "They that larry
long at the wine they that go to
seek mixed Wine" Then the same
writer tells us "not to look upon the
wine when it is red" But we often
hear it said that there is no danger,
that no one can be hurt by going
where it is, or that it is even no
harm to make it and keep it about
you, a little any way for your stom-
ach's sake and for your friends. PeO-
pie who talk and think this way

OFFICE SOUTHERN STANDARD,
McMinnville, June 4, 1887.
The produce trade has been very
quiet for sometime. Farmers who
have a surplus of anything are gener-
ally too busy to haul it to market.
The only change to note of import
ance is in the price of and demand for
corn. Corn is worth fully 5 cents
more than two weeks ago. Whether
there is any other cause for this than
farmers being too busy to deliver it
we know not. The prospects for
crops are generally good, and it may
be now is good time to sell, about
this, however, no one can tell. Every
farmer or dealer must be his own
Judge as to when to sell.

A DISMAL FAILURE
kennebec Democrats Organize a
Club In Augusta.
Especial to the Press.l

AUGUSTA, Dec. 9.-The chief features of
the secret meeting of the Kennebec Demo-
Gratis at Union Hall today, to organize a
County Democratic club, was the lack of at
tendance, those present being largely from
Augusta, and the presence of the old count
out ring which always has prominent place
in the Democratic wigwam in Augusta
Among the faithful ipresent were ''Sime"
Brown, John Ware and Ben. Bunker, Wat
erville; e. G. Allen, Gen. Plaisted, Mike
Burns, Capt. Black, Daniel Pike, j. e. Av-
cry, r. b. Capen, Augusta; B. F. Fuller,
Pttston James d. sWhite, ID. c. Palmer,
Gardiner; Tommy Leigh, Jr., and +. e.
Beane, of Hallowell Gen.. Plaisted officiat-
ed as chairman and Mr.. Leigh as secretary.
An organization was affected for the perma-
nent club with E. C. Allen, president; Tom
my Leigh, secretary; Gen. Plaisted, treas
urer, large list of vice presidents and an
executive committee.
Speeches were made by Messrs. Allen,
Palmer, Plaisted. Fuller, and others. The
Presidents tariff proclamation was evident
ly not very favorably regarded by the meet
ing as only one of the speakers, Mr.. Allen,
touched upon it, and he only to say that he
was in accord with it. The proposed even
ing meeting to enthuse the voters of Augusta
proved dismal failure, and, although gener-
al notice of it had been given, the prospects
were so dubious that no meeting was held.

questing that steamer be Immediately sent
to the scene, but arrived too late to save the
interior of the building, which was com
pletely gutted. In the hall the fair Of the
Deering Village improvement Association
was in progress, and the goods dis
played by them we're worth a large
sum, and are probably totally ruined
The building was owned by Capt.
Benjamin Lewis, by whom 1t was built at an
expense Of s41OO, and the town Of Deering
which had an engine house In the lower
floor. Capt. Lewis estimates his loss at $4,000,
and the loss to the town $1,000. There was
no insurance on the building .Of course, the
exact amount Of loss could not be given with
the fire in progress.
The reporters had so little time before the
time Of going to press that 1t was impossible
to ascertain the loss Of the Association, but
as they had. as was stated by gentleman at
the fire, $500 worth Of decorations alone, IL
will undoubtedly reach considerable figure.
The books In the library and the contents
of the lower floor were removed without
damage.
The origin Of the fire could not be learned.
Some said 1t started from lamp upsetting.
and all agreed that it originated in the north
west corner Of the building. A man was
employed to stay in the building, but 1t was
stated that he was not required to patrol 1t.
He got out without dificulty.lAt the hour Of

The physician also says that while there is a
good prospect for recovery, yet recurrence

some nourishment. He is very hopeful of
recovery himself. This morning he rested
